Su Yi and Cheng Lin led a group of sword and shield soldiers to escort the people of Wuyuan County, and drove towards the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, with two thousand cavalry on the flanks to protect them, and the remaining two hundred wrenders led the Haonu of Chengjiazhuang to open the way in front.

Scar took away nearly a thousand cavalry, and the remaining two thousand cavalry wanted to protect the flanks of tens of thousands of people, which was indeed a bit difficult. Su Yi gathered the craftsmen of Wuyuan County and their families and specially arranged for the protection of sword and shield soldiers, and in his opinion, the importance of these people was even no less than the boxes of jewelry.

It was also beneficial to take back so many people, those carts and wagons carrying goods were all carried by the young men among the people, and Li Goudan and the sword and shield soldiers were armed with weapons to protect them and their belongings, and of course they were also responsible for monitoring their every move, and as long as any of these people moved a little, they could not escape their eyes.

Su Yi finally knew how difficult it was to coerce the people, these tens of thousands of people did not obey orders like the army, these people were messy, and some women and children were marching slowly, so Su Yi had to let the army slow down the march. But even so, there were still quite a few civilians left behind on the march, and there were quite a few of them.

For this reason, although Su Yi temporarily slowed down the pace of the march, he did not deliberately stop and garrison the troops to wait for those people who had fallen behind.

Moreover, such a team has a large number of people, the goal is too big, and most of the team are women and children, Su Yi naturally does not dare to take the risk of taking the path, although the path is safe and hidden, but the rugged path of the mountains and forests is very difficult to walk, especially with so many people marching, walking on the muddy path will undoubtedly increase the burden of the march, although those small roads are not like the big roads. There are bandits and bandits all over the place, but there are still some bandits lurking, and with so many people as a burden, the slightest carelessness will capsize in the gutter and fall into the path of those bandits.

On the contrary, the road is wide. Even if he encounters an attack by a rogue, Su Yi can immediately adjust the formation and arrange the cavalry on the flanks to cover, which is suitable for fighting in an open area, and is also suitable for a large army to flee collectively.

Cheng Lin was a little unimpressed by Su Yi's decision, she had seen the ferocity of those rogues in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, and thought that Su Yi took so many people into the mountains, undoubtedly driving the wolves into the tiger's mouth, which was extremely dangerous.

Su Yi hesitated for a while. But the thought of the mud and rotting leaves on the paths shook his head, and gave up on the march from the paths. The muddy paths in the mountains and forests are very difficult to enter every step of the way, and some people even fall into the mud with one foot, and they can no longer pull up, they will only sink deeper and deeper, and finally die tragically in the muddy ground.

Such a marching environment. Maybe the cottage can pass smoothly through the night without harvesting, but Su Yi doesn't think that these people who have been taken back from Wuyuan County can pass through those paths smoothly. What's more, there are many snakes, insects, ants and beasts under the rotten leaves of those paths, once they are eaten and bitten by these poisonous snakes and beasts, the light ones will die with necrosis of the hands and feet, poisoning and paralysis, and the heavy ones will die instantly.

Some fierce beasts are fine, and the bandits under Su Yi's command can still be dealt with, but those poisonous snakes and poisonous insects are not guardable. Who would have thought that among the dead leaves of the bean curd on the side of the road, when a poisonous snake or a few poisonous insects would emerge back? Who would have thought that there was a flat ground in front of him, but suddenly he stepped down and fell into half of his body.

Su Yi and the others had already come to the territory of Shangjun County, and he sent a team of cavalry to inquire about the news near Shangjun County.

However, the news sent back by these cavalry surprised Su Yi. Su Yi used the hands of a group of powerful forces in Shangjun County to get rid of Chen Hu and loot the weapons depot in the city, but as soon as Chen Hu died, Shangjun County became a cake for many forces to compete for a share.

Although Wangjiazhuang has the advantage of weapons and equipment, the squires of Shangjun County have a much deeper foundation in the city than them, especially the Liu family in Shangjun County, whose influence in the city far exceeds that of other families.

And these heroes and squires in order to compete for power, do not hesitate to fight, the Wang family in Shangjun County has a shallow foundation, although Zhuang Ke is equipped with sophisticated weapons and armor, but it is obviously not advisable to take Shangjun County by force, but because Wangjiazhuang has an advantage in weapons, and even has a bow and crossbow that other forces have not used, it soon became the object of attraction by all forces.

For this reason, Wang Biao and his father and brother had serious differences in the choice, Wang Lao Zhuang and his sons all believed that the Wang family should rely on the advantage of military strength, kill into the city, and eradicate those forces that disobeyed the Wang family, and now Shangjun County has been out of the control of the imperial court, as long as the Wang family is willing, even able to take Shangjun County by force.

Just like the Jin family in Wuyuan County, he relied on force to take over the city defense, and then took refuge in the Wudou Rice Sect, and the head of the Jin family also successfully became the city lord of Wuyuan County.

But this suggestion was quickly vetoed by Wang Biao, for no other reason, Shangjun County is different from Wuyuan County, in addition to the powerful forces of all parties, there is also a military household force that is not controlled by the imperial court.

Shangjun County is different from other county seats, those squire forces have great influence in the city, and some families even control the pulse of the city's economy, and their family children are all over the world, and they can influence the future direction of the entire county in one breath.

If the Wang family rushed into the city by force at this time, although they could gain a certain advantage in the early stage, this advantage would soon cease to exist. The reason why there is no chaos in the current Shangjun County is because the forces of all parties contain each other. Once the Wang family occupies the city by force, it will become the target of the entire Shangjun County.

At the beginning, Chen Hu had tens of thousands of troops, and they were eliminated along with outsiders, not to mention the current Wang family.

Wang Biao believes that at this time, the Wang family should be obscure, rather than making the first bird to be attacked by the crowd, it is better to develop in a low-key manner, and the strength shown by the Wang family will also make all parties compete for it, and the Wang family will take this opportunity to continue to develop forces in Shangjun County and lay a good foundation, but this suggestion was soon not accepted by his father and brother.

It's just that these weapons and equipment were all purchased by Wang Biao for Wangjiazhuang, and most of Wangjiazhuang's troops are in Wang Biao's hands.

Cheng Lin originally asked Su Yi to take these people to Wangjiazhuang, settle down temporarily, and wait for the soldiers and horses of the cottage to come out to respond, and then return to Taohuazhai.

Su Yi shook his head, and did not adopt Cheng Lin's method, the current situation in Shangjun County is chaotic, Su Yi has not yet intervened for the time being, and after he properly settles these people, he will start to deal with the affairs of Shangjun County, no matter what, with Liu Yu's order, he is not afraid that he will not be able to control the power of Shangjun County and the squire.
